Folks,
     Here's an attempt at an NetBIOS NQ retry absorption statement.

NAME_QUERY retries should be absorbed by the origin station based
or repetition of the SOURCE NAME (all 16 bytes), DESTINATION NAME
(all 16 bytes) DATA2, and RSP CORRELATOR fields. These fields are
defined in the IBM Lan Technical Reference (SC30-3383-03) chapter
5 page 19. The frame format is reproduced below for convenience.

The target DLSw should do local retries of NAME_QUERY's in a
manner appropriate to the data link in use.
